Beside You Always
By Shimegami-chan
AUTHOR'S NOTE: The lyrics inset are from "Zutto Kimi no Soba de," from the 2nd ending theme of Flame of Recca. I got the translation from a fanfic I read nearly a year ago--I copied-and-pasted the song parts into a notepad file, and recently ran across it while cleaning out some files. I don't know the name or the author of the fic so I can't give due credit for the translation. ^^;; Please e-mail me if you can help. Thanks!
Conan huddled in the phone booth, wind whistling through the cracks between metal and glass, the cold breeze chilling the bare skin of his legs.
Raising up on his tiptoes he put a coin in the slot and dialed a familiar number, bracing himself for the one task he both hated and loved to peform. The ringing of the phone echoed shrilly in the earpeice, once, twice...
[Night brings us together
And our love is only seen by the crescent moon
I'm suddenly weightless
As your smile pulls me in
Holding me immobile
With my emotions]
Three times.
"Moshi-moshi, Mori desu."
"Ran."
"Shinichi!"
[Run away, run away, forever running
Shake, shake, my heart is shaking with this change
Challenging my feelings
Deeper, deeper, carved with love]
Conan spoke into his voice-changing bowtie, trying to sound controlled. He loved the sound of her voice saying his name, even when she was sad. When she was angry. Hell, even when she was about to karate-chop him into the stratosphere.
"Shinichi." Sad, this time. Conan's heart almost broke to hear it. "Shinichi, where are you? Are you coming home yet?"
"Sorry, Ran, this case is incredible. I can't get away yet. Soon--"
"That's what you always say!" Was she holding back tears? Her voice was suddenly choked with emotion. "You choose this...over me!"
"Ran--"
"You know it's the truth, Shinichi!"
[In my dreams we face each other
I look into your gentle eyes, and they tell me everything]
"Conan, where have you been? It's late!"
"Eh-heh! Out with Ayumi and the others! Gomen nasai, Ran-neesan...Ran...have you been crying?"
"Just a bit. It's nothing."
"What--what happened?"
"Shinichi called...but we didn't talk for long."
I'm always hurting you, Ran.
"Are you okay?"
"Fine! I'm fine, Conan-kun. I shouldn't be talking to you about these things. He's a jerk anyway."
A jerk who loves you.
[I can't stand it--we'll face each other again tomorrow, it's too soon
And the secret wounds you've caused will be changed in the morning]
And I just can't let you go.
[By your never ending smiling
Love is holding me captive]
"Shinichi? Are you there?"
"Yeah. Listen, Ran--"
"Don't."
A moment of silence followed as Conan slumped against the cold glass wall of the booth. His fingers were numb in the brisk December air, the metal of his glasses icy against his skin. A freezing wind blew past, chilling him to the bone, drowning out the sound of Ran's voice and his own ragged breathing.
[Darkness, darkness, I can't see the way
Shine, shine, lit by the future
I head for my future]
"R--Ran..."
"Yeah?" He envisioned her holding the phone in one hand, glaring angrily at the floor. He could never tell what she was thinking during these conversations, what she did in those long moments of silence when neither of them would say a thing. Sometimes, though, he'd come home after to find half-chopped vegetables on the sink or a pot bubbling on the stove, and Ran locked in her room crying.
"I never meant to make you cry."
"I'm not crying." Liar.
"I'm sorry anyway."
She was silent for a moment. "When are you...?"
"Soon. Soon."
[Stronger, stronger, love is carving into me
Run away, run away, always running]
"I miss you."
"I...miss you too, Shinichi. I guess I can wait a little longer. Just...keep calling, okay?"
"I will. Beside you always, Ran. Sayonara."
[Shake, shake, my heart is shaking with this change
Challenging my feelings]
He hung up.
[Deeper, deeper, carved with love...]
"Always..."
